Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Hall of Heavenly Favors (Ling'en Dian). Changling, Ming Tombs, Beijing

The Hall of Heavenly Favors, Ling'en Dian, is Yongle's sacrificial hall. Another translation of its name is "Hall of Eminent Favor." This magnificent, 9-bay, double-eaved structure rests on a single-tiered platform and is often compared to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City; the two are, and were, the largest halls of Ming China, with almost identical length and width. Ling'en Dian, however, tries less to impress: it is set upon a lower base, within a much less extensive courtyard, and is not as tall as its Beijing sibling, all of which gives a much different feeling to the building.
